"Jessamyn, you should know… You are my world... Nothing else matters when I'm with you."
His voice was a deep, soothing melody that wrapped around her heart. Jessamyn closed her eyes, letting his words wash over her, a balm to her soul.
She felt his lips on hers again, soft yet demanding, rekindling the fire within her. The taste of him was intoxicating, the feel of his body pressed against hers an anchor in the storm of emotions swirling around them.
Her hands roamed over his broad chest, feeling the strong beat of his heart beneath her palm. Each thump was a reminder of his strength and the love that held them together.
"I'm all for you, Jerrick," she whispered against his lips. Her voice trembled with the weight of her unspoken vow.
I'm going to kill anyone who dares to come between us to hurt you, even if you end up hating me for it.
